Am I Entitled to Dog Bite Compensation?

Written by Malman Law, reviewed by Steve J. Malman.

If you have been bitten by a dog, you may be entitled to dog bite compensation. A Chicago dog bite attorney can tell you for certain if the owner is liable for their dog’s attack on you. Here are a few simple questions to help determine whether to contact a Chicago dog bite attorney:

• Were you on public property, or an invited guest or visitor on private property?
• Were you attacked by a dog without reason or provocation?
• Were you or the individual who suffered from the dog bite under the age of five?
• Did the dog bite resulting in medical bills, pain and suffering, and/or lost wages?

If the answer to any or most of the above questions is yes, you definitely need to contact a Chicago dog bite attorney. In most instances, if you are attacked by a dog you are entitled to some type of dog bite compensation, especially if the attack was severe.
